Tree trimmers and pruners in Shawinigan

Pruning and trimming come to mind first when it comes to tree care services. This is not surprising, since these are also the two most popular with the homeowners who call on us, Emondage Shawinigan Pro. However, were you aware that usage has made a distinction between these two techniques, which are no longer exactly the same thing? You will say that they are two different tree cutting actions. Certainly, but nevertheless, the actions taken are different. 

Pruning or trimming a tree: what is the difference?

Pruning is the first technique we address. This one operates the removal of branches while aiming at preserving the good health of the tree. Also, it proceeds by parsimonious removals, even if it means spacing the actions to avoid causing too much stress to the plant. If an action risks harming the development of the plant, it is not carried out. Only the required actions are carried out. This is about the way to prune. However, the goal is up to you. We will make sure that we explain to you the line not to cross so that you don't end up pruning instead of pruning and so that your tree doesn't collapse.​

Pruning now. This technique places the goal above tree health, it will even risk sacrificing it. The idea is not to fulfill unreasonable wishes. This is not tolerated in many municipalities. It is that the goal is so important that it justifies drastic cuts. This includes the removal of trees or so many branches that the stress could kill the tree. The perfect image to illustrate such cuts are the strange appearances of trees that Hydro-Quebec pruners have trimmed to prevent branches from reaching the power lines. The security aspects or the preservation of the integrity of goods, infrastructures or buildings, both public and private, are the motivations behind such drastic cuts. 

Tree trimming

Tree trimming comes into play when pruning cannot meet the desired objectives and the conditions for pruning are not met either. However, the reasons must be valid. For example, for tourism purposes, a municipality or an MRC may request the removal of a large row of trees to clear a view, but the owner must have good reasons for removing the trees, which is prohibited or limited in many municipalities. Usually, you will not be able to remove a large section of branches for simple inconvenience either. In addition to safety reasons or to prevent breakage, pruning is acceptable in case of disease or to avoid disturbing traffic in a passageway. 
  
Tree trimming causes significant stress to tree specimens. At best, the tree will not survive. At best, the tree is only weakened. Hopefully, it can recover. So, the best thing to do is to consult certified arborists whenever possible and in time or even in advance. But if the current situation leads to consider trimming, call us, Emondage Shawinigan Pro at 819-805-1819 so that we can explore other possibilities or carry out any unavoidable pruning according to the rules of art.
